Kindergarten

In Saxony-Anhalt, the legal entitlement to childcare in childcare centres (crèche, kindergarten, after-school care) is regulated in the Child Support Act (KiFöG). Every child is entitled to a place in a daycare centre until they reach the 7th year of life. It is not compulsory but recommended. Daycare centres are intended to stimulate the physical, mental and emotional development of children, promote their social skills and compensate for disadvantages by providing general and educational support and educational opportunities. Children with disabilities or disadvantages in the social-emotional area should be specifically supported.

As the life situation of children and their families is undergoing rapid social change, children often grow up in very small families and the framework conditions in families are changing, daycare centres increasingly have to take on tasks that complement the family. The focus of the educational work of each daycare centre is anchored in concepts for the respective daycare centre. Integrative care for children with disabilities is possible in the daycare centres "Eigen-Sinn", "Sonnenkäfer" and in the Montessori Kinderhaus.

Application

In addition to the daycare centres run by the local authority, the World Heritage City of Quedlinburg also has daycare centres run by the AWO, Lebenshilfe, the DRK and the CVJM. The parents' right to choose is limited to the available capacities. It is recommended that parents arrange a meeting with the daycare centre of their choice before registering their child. A list of the Kindergarten can be found here under »Kindertagesstätten«.
